POLL: Teabagger Party Now More Popular Than Republicans

A Rasmussen poll released last week shows that more conservatives align themselves with the Tea Party than with the Republicans.
Running under the Tea Party brand may be better in congressional races than being a Republican. In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, the Tea Party comes out on top. Thirty-three percent (33%) prefer the Tea Party candidate, and 30% are undecided. Twenty-five percent (25%) would vote for a Democrat, and just 12% prefer the GOP.
When the GOP began its slide into irrelevance in 2008, we all worried that something even worse would replace it. It looks like we may have been right.
